Coffee is being drunk as we speak, so i guess they are getting ready

I recall you were more interested in keeping your glass hydrated...coffee.

What is it with you north island lot and having to sit ya arses on the ground while in mid flight

a very different day today with both the 749's arseing up and both doing bloody well Drew holding 4th out a 50 in A bracket racing which means he was up against Jrod Love etc... pitty his fuel line came apart after the bump it had earler and after flicking the birdie at Nicko as he passed soon drifted to the side of that track.

Ok so more to come including why the Duc team have lazy bikes and needing a nap mid race with pics of the day ... cooming soon.

BTW the guys did farking well... most impressed

Eh - did they both crash ? And it's not generally a north Island trait - it wasn't last time we ventured down there !!

4th - bloody hell - Drew has event texted me talking it up yet

yeah i think an old Duc was a bit jealous of Flames new duc and decided to bump her off the track. She has a couple of bruises, but they managed to get her bike back up and running again (in one race!) after replacing the clutch and gear levers ( i think those was the main issues) and bandaging it up a bit.
Luckily the bloke was still down cos i think Flame mighta given him a bit of biffo if he jumped up again.

He def came of worse for wear, think he went off to hospital in the end.

And Drew decided to run up the arse of someone, and took a woopsie over the bars... same corner as Flame. But the awesum pit crew managed to get him going again for his next race.

I spent the day taking pics, so theres some goodies to come

oh yeah and did we mention it was 31 degrees today... AT LEAST that at ruapuna. So all the racers and even a few of the spectators did exceedingly well to survive the heat and the racing.
Well done guys!
